Description

'Kasen Tsui’s work is not only a performance, but the embodiment of social memory and the spirit of humanity' (Kuh Fei, the Hong Kong Theatre Libre). This is a brand-new dark comedy about farewell. One evening, Kasen decides to host a funeral in her tiny apartment for her long-lost friend who is still very much alive. So, she prepares a eulogy to celebrate this friend’s life. This theatre play is speaking to those who share the same stories of being forced to leave their homeland, striving for survival, freedom and hope.

I came out of this show crying. It is a beautiful tale of how world events separate us from people before we ever thought we would lose them, and all we lose in the process. Tiny details about our loved ones, their habits and strangeness, and the moments of healing we provided each other.

Definitely go see the show. Artists from Hong Kong need our support especially now as their free speech is more endangered than ever.

The performer is brilliant. At the end she announced that this is her first solo performance and first time performing in English. I never would have guessed. Her humor and stage presence are explosive. Particularly her facial expressions which seem to fill up the whole room. Kudos!

Tsui’s performance is comical but under the surface throbs the deep pain.
